Abstract: A sufficient condition is obtained for the weak convergence of additive functionals defined on a sequence of Markov chains $X_n$ approaching a Markov process $X$. The condition is expressed in terms of transient probabilities of the chains $X_n$. An application of the main result is given for the convergence on the Cantor set of local-time type functionals of random walks approaching an $\alpha$-stable process with index $\alpha \leq 1$.
